Default Leaking oil on valve covers

Need some help here. I'm going to try to explain this in a way that I don't sound too stupid. This is not a pic of my engine but you get the point. If you look in the pics I attached you will see two white arrows. There should be 4 but the other two places are covered up by the intake. If you have a 4.6L GT go look at your engine and you will see what I am talking about. Right where the arrows are pointing there is now oil sitting inside of the divots there. Obviously I have leaks and need your guys' help to let me know what I need to replace. It's doing it on both valve covers not just the one on the passenger side. Do I need to replace both valve covers or is it something else I need to replace. You can see what I'm talking about better in the first picture. Thanks in advance and hope I didn't confuse you too much.
